The Internet works economically because of the effectiveness of the online ads, and that effectiveness is driven by the data that is collected and used to personalize the messages. No data gathering, no effective ads, no free content.

The rebate offer that came with my order is a scam. Not only do you have to jump through a ridiculous series of hoops, but you have to submit all your personal information and agree (in the ToS) to allow OCZ to freely give that info to any marketing affiliates they see fit. These conditions were not made apparent from the product page when the rebate was being offered. Honestly this practice is increasingly considered “standard” in today’s business age, but that doesn’t mean I have to just accept it without expressing my discontent.
